MONTREAL — SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. warns its 2019 results could be significantly lower than anticipated, largely due to cost overruns at some construction projects and says it will undergo a reorganization to exit or section off its poorer performing segments.

The Montreal-based engineering giant is withdrawing all previous financial guidance for 2019 and will book an additional $1.9 billion in impairment charges.

More coming.
